Description
Hand Made German Rocking & Rolling horse with Leather Saddle and real fur!!Full sized rocking horse is very realistic and in near-perfect condition.
Horse is made of wood and covered in horsehide or cowhide. It features a real creamy white-flaxen horse-hair mane & tail. His saddle, bridle, reins and tack are all leather, and his bit and stirrups are metal. He wears a yellow saddle blanket made of felt. His realistic face is solid wood and he has solid wood hooves which are all finished in shiny glossed black paint. Each wooden rocker is lined with green felt and the cross-bar features the maker's mark seal that reads: "Made for Neiman Marcus In West Germany." If you remove the horse from it's "rocking" frame, it can also be a pull-toy with it's wheeled platform base.
The rolling base is easily removed from the rocking rails by removing two butterfly nuts which are located on the bottom of the rolling platform.
Horse measures 48" long x 35" tall x 15.5" wide. The wooden rolling platform measures 28" long.
The only area of wear that I can find is some very light staining in the leather saddle and the leather stirrup straps will need to be repaired in order for the stirrups to hang down any lower. It appears that perhaps user was "standing" in the stirrups and caused breakage on lower strap. (Stirrups are attached, please see pictures for more detail). From the research I've done, this rocking horse is VERY much like the Meier Spielwaren ones I've seen.
This rare little vintage rocking / rolling horse would definitely put a big smile on some lucky little child's face on Christmas morning!
